In the course of the conducted experimental research at the ascertaining stage among the master’s students of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Luhansk, a methodological toolkit was implemented to increase the readiness of future public servants to carry out professional activities, namely: the implementation of readiness components and pedagogical conditions. After conducting the experimental research, promising areas for improving the training of public servants to implement professional activities were formed, as conditions for the sustainable development of the TG in the process of interaction with higher education institutions.
